At least nine Democrats are threatening to turn on Nancy Pelosi over the upcoming $3.5 trillion budget resolution later this month.
If the Democrats in question withhold their votes, it puts Pelosi’s plan of pushing through President Joe Biden’s massive infrastructure bill and social spending agenda in serious jeopardy.
The latest development has created tension among top Democrats in the House, as worries and anxiety were already running high about getting the two items pushed through quickly.
So which Democrats are turning on Pelosi and why are they suddenly concerned about her plan?
